Lightning Is the Only Way

Wendy's eyes widened when she heard that. "What do you mean?"

Gravis smiled. She had already told all her secrets to him, so why couldn't he tell her? No one was around, and Gravis could feel the Spirit of others. He also didn't believe that the upper echelon of the Wind Guild would break their promise. The only one listening was Heaven, and it already knew his background.

"This is a lower world. Above this world are the middle worlds, and above those are the higher worlds," Gravis explained. "I am from the highest world, and every world is below ours. My father is the strongest being, equal to the highest Heaven. They are enemies, and Heaven has used me to hurt my father before. That's why Heaven is my enemy and why it can't act directly against me. My father forces Heaven into a fair fight."

Wendy was shocked and couldn't process all the information she was receiving right now. There were so many worlds above this one? Also, Gravis' father was this powerful? She couldn't imagine how powerful he had to be.

Gravis smiled happily. "When Heaven tried to strike me in the Basin of Nature, my father slapped it away. That's why everything vanished. The Heaven of this lower world is nothing in my father's eyes," said Gravis with pride.

Wendy still couldn't fully believe Gravis' tale, but everything pointed to it being the truth. Why else did these things happen in the Basin of Nature? Gravis remained silent for a while, and Wendy also didn't say anything. She kept thinking about the whole situation.

After a while, Wendy smiled happily. "If Heaven is forced to fight with you fairly, then you are probably the only person who has a shot at damaging it," she looked upwards into the sky. "I am happy that my gamble and all my hardships paid off. If I gave up earlier, I would have never had the chance to change anything. This is the first time in a long while, where I'm truly happy," she said as some tears rolled down her eyes.

"Here, take this," Wendy said as she passed a jade token, as well as a piece of paper to Gravis. "This is the core of the inheritance. It's a Formation Array, and everything about it is explained in the piece of paper. You only need to use your lightning on it, and you will understand everything about it. The ascended senior took great care in keeping what the token can do a secret."

He wanted to live without regrets and grow strong. 'Maybe I am too naïve,' he thought as he looked upwards at the sky. 'Maybe it was impossible from the very beginning to have both.
